Jannik Sinner is now a bigger favorite to win Roland Garros than Rafael Nadal ever was

Jannik is so good actually going great but let's not ever forget how excellent Rafael was.

He’s the favourite because there is literally no competition who can seriously challenge. He’s not a bigger favourite than Nadal, yet, because he’s not won at RG before. Once he has at least three of them, then you can maybe begin to make comparisons

Good question actually. Both were massive favourites but for such different reasons. Sinner is only such heavy favourite because his biggest rival isn’t there, and the rest of the field is so weak. Nadal was the favourite because, no matter who he played, they were so far beneath him on clay

No - I can see the argument, but he’s never won the title… And he’s going for the Career Grand Slam, a lot of pressure. Nadal won 14 titles. Enough said

Looks that way, seems impossible for him not to win!
